The Egyptian kits are OK. The crutch stocks used to be very pricey. But now., still worth $100. They are unique AKM's in certain markings and features.
The Egyptian fit & finish is average to below.
Thought they seemingly got help from the USSR, East Germany and Romania., their sense of quality and manufacturing abilites do not reflect that influence in any meaningful way.
But a kit is a kit in today's panic market.

Eqyptian Kits

Picked one up, not in the AK game till now. I know its late to be doing this but I been wearing out the AR's for years. Hope this turns out ok, at worst should be able to resell and not take too bad a whipping. On other hand, may be like a piece of gold in the future.

I would reccomend buying a 100% receiver from Nodak or one of the other quality makers for your first build. It may be tempting to buy a flat or one of the crappy polish blanks being sold for cheap. But you will save soooo much aggravation & you will have in your hand a perfect receiver to learn on. THEN on your next builds it will be SOOOOOO much easier to try to make your own.Check Copes or Apex for a barrel. You will also need a bunch of U.S.A. made parts to be 922r compliant & legal.
